Ruger 10/22 Takedown Rim-fire Rifle

If you're looking for one of the best 22 rifles ever made this is it. I have been able to get my grubby little hands on one of these and the owner had to nearly rip it out of my hands to get it back. Yes, it is that good. Here's more information that I think will help. The humble little .22 Long Rifle (LR) has been the most popular caliber for generations, never more so than now. Like millions of other kids I grew up with a .22 rifle in my hands but as I grew older the .22s got left behind while I pursued other interests. Now, with centerfire ammunition being scarce and expensive, the little .22 is enjoying a huge comeback; not just for kids, but for everyone wanting to maintain their skills without having to mortgage the farm. Too, everyone from preppers to backpackers, or those looking for a handy, durable and reliable firearm, is gravitating towards .22 rifles and pistols. With the 10/22 Takedown, Ruger has produced a .22 rifle that should appeal to all these folks and more.

22 Long Rifle Self Defense Weapon

Over the past few months I've been talking with another expert in the firearm field and we've both come to the same conclusion: The 22 Long Rife cartridge is an excellent round for both self defense and for survival.  Here's a short video that will explain the reasons why this is such a good round to use. 

Of course the 22LR would not be my recommendation as a full-time self defense round but in a pinch it would work and make it so you can get out of most any situation in which you might find yourself.
